Watergate would have been my reflexive answer, if I'm being honest. Lewinsky would probably have been second, but that's largely because nothing else readily springs to my mind. Perhaps that's an indictment on our public education system, I feel like I'm missing some obvious ones.

I like that none of you called me out for indicting the entire public education system before indicting myself for not knowing shit. Thanks, guys.

The mainstream media, in conjunction with Russian influence, duping gullible Americans into voting for a racist, bigoted admitted sexual predator with contempt for America who then began to systematically disassemble the very things that make our country exceptional.

LOL at you for even believing the media helped elect Trump in the General. I think they did during the Primary when they thought it would help Hills to have him as an opponent.

Lots of free advertising for him. I’ll give him that. He shows up cameras wanted to cover him.

yep.

The racist, bigoted sexual predator is good for ratings. Imagine how boring their shows would be if all they had to discuss was Hillary's email account.

With the racist, bigoted sexual predator, they get his America-hating rants, his race-baiting, his misogyny, his addiction to porn stars/underage girls.. the white supremacist rallies, the mass shootings, the terror attacks on American soil, etc - and the deplorables eat it up.

I don't know, but I suspect mainstream media ratings are pretty high. They knew what they were doing when they shamelessly promoted him. It's all about the corporate dollars.

I think the biggest scandal was Nixon, but not for Watergate. We now know that Nixon contacted North Vietnam to hold out on peace talks until AFTER he was elected so he could cut them a better deal. This was far, far worse than watergate.

So...you obviously think FoxNews is just a propaganda machine (and not "the media").

Wild Bill Casey negotiated with Iran to release the hostages as Reagan was sworn in then accepted an appointment to lead the CIA.

Ollie North shredding documents in his White House office when the Iran-Contra mess was being revealed.

Tea Pot Dome with President Harding was big and may have help lead to his unfortunate fatal illness.

So much should t going on so no one is noticing Kushner’s financing deals from Israeli bankers, his encouraging Saudi Arabia’s crown prince to go hardline or getting classified information about China without a security clearance.

My vote is for the Hillary Clinton’s selling off 20% of our Uranium, working with Russians to make it look like they were actually working with Trump, Using a private server to cover it up and staging the email hacking of the Dems to frame Trump.

Anything Devin Nunes is involved in deserves nothing but derision.

Ironically, if their intent in releasing the thing is to throw shade at the Russia investigation, it's probably going to do nothing but increase support for it, since russian bots are keeping it trending on twitter.
